Hi!
VMware does not entirely follow the Gentoo
way. /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware is the start/stop script for VMware
(/opt/vmware/bin/vmware relies on that one). A tip: whenever VMware
think's it has not been configured correctly it creates a
file /etc/vmware/not_configured. vmware-config.pl deletes that file
after a successful configuration. Problem is: sometimes VMware does have
troubles creating two devices: /dev/vmnet0 and /dev/vmnet8. In that case
you'll get a missconfiguration error over and over again - though you
actually didn't change anything. So I created a little script that helps
Vmware:
#!/bin/bash
sudo mknod /dev/vmnet0 c 119 0 > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo mknod /dev/vmnet8 c 119 8 > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo rm /etc/vmware/not_configured > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware start
vmware
sudo /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware stop
